The images, taken all across the state, show rescuers giving victims piggybacks and residents using swimming pool inflatables to save others.

Water in a Houston-area neighborhood along a creek that’s overflowing has reached the roofline of single-story homes.

People could reportedly be heard yelling for help from inside homes in the Cypress Forest Estates subdivision in northern Harris County as a steady procession of rescue boats headed into the area.

One man, Joe Garcia (pictured below), was carrying his German Shepherd, Heidi, in chest-deep water before he was picked up by a boat. Garcia said he floated out a tub of his belongings, then went back in to get his dog.
